Docker update: - - Docker 1.3.1 for virt7-testing
Xen update: - Xen 4.4.1 in virt6-testing - Can't do a release of xen without libvirt because libvirt depends on a specific version of libxl - Plan: update to libvirt-1.2.9 before test then release
Signing - C7 we want to use the CBS signing system which isn't up yet - All SIGs will just wait to release C7 stuff until then - x4c C6 is signed with distro key, so we'll keep having Johnny sign those
Target: C6 xen/libvirt beta release in mid-November, release early December C7 docker: release when sig ready C7 xen: beta maybe mid-December
Mid-December: Dojo schedule - Biggest one: US in early Summer - 30 Jan before FOSDEM - ~300 people - Sponsorship? - Talk / workshop / hack session re virt sig
Pre-FOSDEM dojo: - kbsingh: It would be good to have virt-sig presence at dojo before FOSDEM - gwd: I may not be able to make it; I'll try to find someone to cover me.

<gwd> Virt SIG meeting in 2 minutes *** jonludlam (~jonludlam@guest-gw.chu.cam.ac.uk) has joined channel #centos-devel [13:59] *** tazz (~gaurav@triband-mum-120.60.128.133.mtnl.net.in) has joined channel #centos-devel *** dominic_ (~dgeevarg@59.93.70.149) has quit: Quit: Leaving <pasik> hello [14:00] <gwd> OK, who have we got present? I see pasik and jonludlam [14:02] <gwd> kbsingh: You around? <gwd> lsm5? [14:04] <gwd> OK, well I guess let's get started. [14:05] *** agrimm (agrimm@nat/redhat/x-lypwfoeufylzzmdt) has joined channel #centos-devel <jonludlam> gwd, is there an agenda? [14:06] <gwd> The main agenda was updates: update on Xen, on Docker, and on the CBS. <gwd> The CBS is the main blocker for a Docker release <gwd> And really for me doing anything useful as far as a Xen update as well. [14:07] <jonludlam> I still don't have my cbs account <gwd> And quaid had asked about oVirt joining the Virt SIG as well <gwd> jonludlam: Right, I didn't realize you'd asked for one. [14:08] * gwd tries to remember the nick of the guy who was working on that... <gwd> Well the Xen status is: <gwd> * I've got Xen 4.4.1 built in the CBS (unsigned) <gwd> * It's using an "updated" blktap2.5, but I'm not sure how stable it is (needs more testind) [14:09] <jonludlam> (tbh I hadn't been pinging about it as I've had to work on other things recently...) <gwd> * And before we can do a proper release, I'd need to rebuild libvirt <jonludlam> gwd, is it using the dkms blktap module? <jzb> Evolution: ping <Evolution> jzb: pong [14:10] <gwd> I think the kernel probably is, not positive. <jzb> Evolution: where can I find minutes from last week's meeting? <jzb> Evolution: Atomic SIG meeting, I mean, in case that was vague. :-) <gwd> jonludlam: Any reason for asking? :-) <Evolution> everything should be at -> http://www.centos.org/minutes/ [14:11] <jonludlam> gwd, the dkms module is quite old, and I've had issues using it under ubuntu. The newer kernel module source can't be built out of tree though <gwd> Yes, the whole blktap thing is something which needs to be sorted out. [14:12] <jonludlam> given we're providing a new kernel, it might make sense to have the in-tree patches in the kernel <jonludlam> gwd, totally agree <pasik> i think the current linux 3.10 kernel in xen4c6 is based on some citrix patches <pasik> for blktap2.5 [14:13] <gwd> That would make sense -- I haven't had time to actually get to look at the kernel package and see what's in it. <pasik> i remember some discussions/emails with David Vrabel about those patches <jzb> Evolution: found, thx <jonludlam> pasik, might be worth refreshing the patches - we've done a lot of testing on them recently [14:14] <pasik> jonludlam: ok, good to know <pasik> jonludlam: can you point to a git tree with the latest patches? <jonludlam> pasik, not sure - I'll have a look <pasik> jonludlam: thanks! [14:15] <jonludlam> https://github.com/xenserver/linux-3.x.pg/tree/master/master I believe *** telex (teletype@freeshell.de) has quit: Remote host closed the connection [14:17] <gwd> pasik: You haven't tested the 4.4.1 patches in virt6-testing, have you? [14:18] *** telex (teletype@freeshell.de) has joined channel #centos-devel <kbsingh> gwd: here now <kbsingh> +1 for prepatching the kernel for needed support, dkms is never worked for me in prod [14:20] <gwd> kbsingh: OK -- I've just done a status update for Xen (basically not much update since last time, except that I found a pretty nasty bug upstream and fixed it) <kbsingh> on the CBS update : [14:21] <pasik> gwd: hmm, i *think* i did test the rpms you linked <pasik> gwd: but i'm not totally sure. i've been way too busy with other things <pasik> gwd: i'll test again to be sure :) <gwd> pasik: Sure. :_) <kbsingh> lots of progress, MerlinTHP is working on closing up the lookaside binary sources import script, and I am working on the gitblit update for git.centos.org - having those two things done will allow prettymuch the entire workflow to move from srpms to git <lsm5> gwd: yup [14:22] <pasik> kbsingh: any eta? <kbsingh> w.r.t signing packages, we have a sign process setup, need to sync with the koji guys and workout a release process. <kbsingh> pasik: 2 weeks is a good eta to plan against <gwd> C6 isn't going to use the CBS signing anyway, since the existing C6 packages use the CentOS signing key. <lsm5> sorry about the delay, Re: docker, we have 1.3.1 up, nothing else to update :\ [14:23] <kbsingh> we'll likely have chunk of the work done for the next buildsys meeting on Monday coming, and i'd give it another week for people to break i <kbsingh> gwd: if we can find a migration path, would you prefer it went through cbs ( c6 ) <lsm5> lsm5: and i'm back at RH if that matters :) *** chorrell (~chorrell@72.15.63.49) has joined channel #centos-devel <kbsingh> lsm5: we;ll try not holding that against you <lsm5> :) [14:24] <gwd> kbsingh: That would be fine with me, but I don't know any of the details there... *** arielb (~arielb@fedora/arielb) has joined channel #centos-devel <kbsingh> gwd: ok, maybe we can thrash out the detalis on the virt-list. it will involve shipping a xen that requires: centos-release-xen <version>; which then has the new key <kbsingh> and have the centos-release-xen conflict with the older xen <kbsingh> gwd: in terms of targets, are we looking for a 4.4 into c6 or c7 now ? [14:26] <kbsingh> as in, what are we doing first ? *** BRLX (~Thunderbi@rtr.ak-p.at) has quit: Quit: BRLX [14:27] <gwd> kbsingh: Well I thought changing one thing at a time would be good. :-) So I'm aiming at 4.4 in c6 <kbsingh> cool <gwd> Also, updating to 4.4 in c6 doesn't require kernel changes; just xen & libvirt packages *** BRLX (~Thunderbi@rtr.ak-p.at) has joined channel #centos-devel <kbsingh> second question i had was for jonludlam i guess, there was talk of updating to a 3.14 kernel, is that still on the cards ? to better align with upstream expectations [14:28] <gwd> kbsingh: Do we want to update to 3.14 in c6? We were definitely planning on doing a kernel update for c7 <kbsingh> if there is a good reason to, we can update in c6 as well as c7 - specially if its going to mean only having to maintain one kernel tree [14:29] <jonludlam> I have no particular opinion on kernel version <jonludlam> David V might though [14:30] <gwd> jonludlam: I can ask the Linux Xen crowd what they think is a good option <kbsingh> maybe something to thrash out a bit then, for now for 4.4 into c6, if its not a blocker then lets not bring it to the agenda [14:31] <jonludlam> gwd, sounds like a good idea <kbsingh> col [14:32] <kbsingh> cool even <gwd> OK, so the plan is: First c6 xen+libvirt; then possibly c6 kernel update; then c7 everything. <gwd> Anything else for Xen? <pasik> libvirt status? [14:33] <pasik> for xen4.4 <gwd> pasik: I was planning on updating it to whatever the most recent release. <gwd> But I haven't had a chance to look at it. <pasik> ok [14:35] <pasik> libvirt obviously needs to be built and tested before we can push the xen 4.4 update to c6 [14:36] <gwd> Yes, that's basically the delay at this point... *** smerrill-offline (~smerrill@ec2-174-129-193-80.compute-1.amazonaws.com) is now known as smerrill <gwd> lsm5: Anything you're blocked on for a c7 docker release, other than the cbs being set up? [14:37] <kbsingh> do we want to include the upstream libvirt people as well ? <kbsingh> DV: ping <lsm5> gwd: no blockers <gwd> lsm5: Cool. *** mbrysa (mbrysa@nat/redhat/x-toigkxrcipgtvkod) has quit: Quit: Leaving [14:39] <gwd> quaid also mentioned oVirt potentially wanting to do join the Virt SIG; I presume to have a re-build of qemu with some extra features enabled <gwd> Is there anything to discuss about that? *** blip (~dewey@unaffiliated/blip) has quit: Ping timeout: 258 seconds <gwd> kbsingh: Also, I have in the last meeting minutes something about dojos and sponsorship? Was there an action item there for anyone? [14:40] <kbsingh> unsure, but there are a few ovirt people on the virt-list now, so we can ping there *** mattgriffin (~textual@99-181-54-51.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net) has joined channel #centos-devel <kbsingh> gwd: we have a dojo on the day before Fosdem, I think virt-sig should do something there, either a hack session or a talk session <gwd> kbsingh: quaid responded to my e-mail announcing the Virt SIG meeting on centos-virt <gwd> Hrm <gwd> fosdem> It's looking somewhat likely that I won't be able to make it to FOSDEM next year, due to some personal stuff I have to sort out in the US around that time. [14:41] <kbsingh> gwd: ok, we should then try and find someone who can cover ? [14:43] <kbsingh> brb <kbsingh> back [14:44] <gwd> kbsingh: Yes, that would be good. [14:45] <gwd> kbsingh: Let me see if I can find someone to get involved. [14:46] <kbsingh> thanks *** chandankumar (chandankum@nat/redhat/x-kxxugjygxkcyqqlh) has quit: Quit: Leaving <gwd> OK, anything else to cover? <kbsingh> the cloudsig is starting to finally get off the ground, do we want to cross polinate with them a bit ? [14:47] <kbsingh> maybe have someone from virtsig hangout in their meetings and ask them to come along here as well <pasik> jonludlam: would you like to email about the blktap2.5 kernel patches once you figure it out? <gwd> kbsingh: They're doing stuff like openstack, right? <jonludlam> pasik, if there's anything actually to do, I will [14:48] <kbsingh> gwd: yeah, openstack and eucalyptus looks to be what they are starting with, then cloudstack and opennebula miht comealong later. <jonludlam> it looks like the recent activity on the patch in our tree has been to do with very large scalability <jonludlam> which might not be of much interest <pasik> jonludlam: thanks! [14:49] <pasik> jonludlam: well, at least all the bugfixes are of interest :) <jonludlam> pasik, for sure :-) [14:50] <gwd> kbsingh: Yes. I'll see if I can start lurking on their meetings. <jonludlam> talking of other SIGs, what needs to happen to kick off the ocaml SIG? [14:51] <gwd> Just real quick -- any other business we need to cover before we close the Virt SIG meeting? <kbsingh> jonludlam: not much, we just need to find a couple of problem definitions that sig will try and solve, then propose it and bob's your uncle *** lvv (~loganaden@RNT-ENG2.dhcp.mu.afrinic.net) has quit: Quit: lvv <kbsingh> gwd: not from me. <jonludlam> is 'we need it for xapi' a sufficient problem definiton? [14:52] <jonludlam> I'm sure there are more problems it solve too... :-) [14:53] <kbsingh> jonludlam: thats a good place to start from [14:54] <kbsingh> jonludlam: lets pickup on that over email, i need to rebase over to another call <jonludlam> sure *** santana (9f99820a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.159.153.130.10) has joined channel #centos-devel <gwd> Great, thanks everyone!
